Explanation to John Allan Art

The 26-year-old Arte was positive for the metabolite of tamoxifen-3-hydroxy-4-methoxytramoxyphene from hormonal and metabolic modulators due to a competitive urine specimen collected at UFC FN Sacramento on July 13, 2019, and is always in the frame the UFC Anti-Doping Directive, which has approved the Prohibited List of the World Anti-Doping Agency.

After informing Arte of the positive test result, he provided evidence for the use of this prohibited substance before the launch of the UFC Anti-Doping Program. Once enrolled in the UFC Anti-Doping Program, athletes should report all medications and supplements they have taken in the last 12 months. An athlete who declares an earlier use of a Prohibited Substance is not considered unlawful but, depending on the substance, may refrain from the competition for at least six months and provide at least two negative samples. Arte did not specify the use of tamoxifen in his integration statement.

The blocking period for one year of art began on 13 July 2019 with the removal of the positive sample. The Arte Test also falls under the jurisdiction of the California State Sports Commission, which also has a one-year sanction and will refuse Arte's victory at UFC FN Sacramento for total absence and a fine of $ 4,800.
